So now, if you have suggested podcasts covering #PHP; the MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite databases; feel free to suggest them. I have no idea whether I will be able to continue this, but I’ll try for now.
I understand why #PHP developers made it so that the language will not connect to “untrusted” sites (I even mostly agree with it). But if you’re trying to notify them of a problem, it would be nice if it got through.

@musicman Oh, wow! I remember learning to install #Apache and #PHP from source 20+ years ago. Can't remember whether we actually compiled #MySQL or just extracted a precompiled tarball. On pre-RHEL #Red_Hat Linux and #FreeBSD. . Was fun, but upgrading could be tricky.
I feel like #PHP is more administrator-centric with the dlls and ini files.
Not that I am any sort of expert in either. Maybe it's just the type of Java learning that I am doing, and of course there is JVM stuff that is admin-like, but even that seems to be configurable in the code itself.
I had to take a time out from Lua because none of the (book and video) examples of "first class functions ... pass the function to that one" were working for me and I could not see why.
The odd thing is that the weird issues with scoping that I saw the past few days are gone today. Lua 5.1.5 on #Win10 1909 and Lua 5.2.4 on #Kubuntu 18.04, #Linux kernel 4.15
!fnetworks !fnetworks I have noticed some excessive slowness since the server move. It appears to be partly caused by some change in #PHP and partly by a more complex database query. Currently investigating, but ping me on #XMPP when it get really bad. If I'm home and near my computer, I can restart #PHP-FPM, which speeds things up considerably.
